Accomodation in Seoul for Summer Exchange 2015 (Sungkyunkwan University, SKKU)


(Video tour of the room and neighborhood.)

We had a great time staying here for the past 1 month, love our "home" in Seoul!
Am glad that we choose to stay outside of school than staying in SKKU's dormitory.
SKKU's dormitory has curfew! Not sure how strict there are about it.
 Also, staying outside is the same price as staying in the dom plus you get to choose your roommate!
Will be cheaper if you have more people staying together.

Our host, Taeyoung was there to pick us up from sinseoldong station exit 4 when we arrived by airport limousine bus and showed us around the neighborhood.
The place is comfortable and perfect for 2 person, almost everything we needed were provided.
And the plus point is they are providing free portable wifi now! (They didn't have it during our stay.)

Taeyoung and his wife was always there

to answer our enquires and helps. They even helped us to order delivery when we stayed in to do our projects. On our last few days, he invited to join his family for an evening to enjoy some dessert and scenery. Which we enjoyed ourselves and love his cute daughter!

Outer wear: 9000 won from Top ten (Favorite store!)

Most of my tops are bought in Korea. Didn't bring a lot of clothing for the trip.

Korea Summer Exchange 2015 - Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU)


Videos are mostly taken by Steffi. So there's only first 3 weeks of our life in Seoul.
Really enjoyed ourselves and will recommend our peers to go! But it will be better if you know more locals. Went during the Mers period and 2/3 of the people from NTU actually redraw from the summer exchange. =(

Will try to come up with a more detail post, like what courses I cleared, where I stay and stuff.
